The Plain Duty of the City Administration. The attention of the mayor and city council is called to the fact that there are a number of breaks in the surface coating of the jasperite paving on Douglas avenue. The number Is such as not only to attract serious attention but apprehensive com ment, the breaks coming so soon after the work had been completed. Of course the city administration has but the plain duty of refusing to accept or to pay for the work until not only the city officials, but until the prop erty owners themselves are satisfied that they have gotten what the contract calls for, and what they have obligated themselves to pay for. The truth is that the city has agreed to pay a very round price for a first class pavement, which pavement was to be fully guaranteed, and until such work and such guaranty are made satisfactory, the representatives of the city have but one plain duty, and that duty is to refuse to accept and refuse to pay. THE LIVE STOCK EXC3IERATION. The Hon. J. T. McCoy, agent in charge securing tho enumeration of live stock on tho ranges, reports agents in the field with one or two exceptions rushing the work as rapidly as could be expected. Tho returns made so far have been, for the most part. entirely satisfactory, making it possible for the work when completed to give all the information desired wnich it is possible to secure. In many places there are difficulties met which had not been foreseen by agents in tho field. The department does not desire to take the enumeration in counties and sections which had this year been covered by the local assessors securing basis of taxation. In such cases the department estimates the returns as made can be relied upon as a basis of calculation leading to a fairly correct result. But tho agents in some in stances have no little trouble in finding the territory covered by assessors; to find where assessors commence and where they quit. It also appears that cattle owners in many instances have not made returns complete of the number of cattle, wishing to avoid taxes. In other instances a ranch man, wishing to heep his credit up, will make returns larger than the facts will warrant. To raise the returns made on tho one class and lower that of the other is the question which confronts the enumer ators. They are forced in many instances to make estimates, relying on this to make reports. Mr. Bone, who has the Florida district, will complete his work within a few days, and will report in New Mexico, to assist the agent there. It is thought the last of this month will find many of tho agents completing their work, and by the last of October will likely find all completed with possibly one or two exceptions.

In Tuesday's Eagle notice was given that a large delegation of tho Knights of of Pythias would leave "Wichita in the evening for this point to bo in attendance at the Knights of Pythias banquet, while in yesterday's Eagle there the following appeared: The Knights of Pythias cot off last night for "Winfield via the Missouri Pacific special, in the best of spirits, at 6 o'clock. The list given in yesterday's Eagle was cansiderably augmented at the last moment. Did the boys mislead your reporter when they started, or does the Eagle wish to advertise "Winfield, or has it become jealous of the fast increasing prosperity of King man as a point for successful meetings and entertainments of overy nature? It is needless to add that the Wichita delega tion arrived safely in Kingman on time, was royally entertained and treated to the best All of which they merited. King man Leader-Courier. THEY ARE GLAD OK IT. The Bloomington (Ind.) Telephone has the following to say of the nomination of Jos. E. Henley, Esq., by the Republicans for the legislature: Word has leen received here that Jos. E. Henley has been nominated by tho Re publican party of his district for tho legis lature. His friends hero are indeed glad to know that the new acquaintances ho has made recognize in him the true ability ho possesses. No youug man ever began his career here who surpassed him in his chosen profession. Ho has what is termed a "legal" mind, and quickly grasps a point and holds it well. A lawyer of his ability will make a legislator of whom the people may be pround. His friends here, regardless of politics, hope to hear of his election, aud bespeak for him a future success. THE TUESDAY CONVENTIONS. Tho delegates to tho Republican state Resubmission convention to be held here Tuesday next will commence to arrive Monday morning.

GOING AWAY. Mr. George M. Barnnm, who during the past two years has filled the position as superintendent for the Dold packing plant in a most efficient manner, has resigned his position and accepted a position as superintendent and general manager of the Fort Worth Packing company, of Fort Worth, Texas, at a large increase in salary. Mr. Barnnm and family have made many friends during their stay in Wichita who rcn-et to see them leave. They expect to eavo the early part of next week. HUMANE SOCIETY. Yesterday afternoon was the regular meeting of the Humanesociety and a full full board of directors was present and the heads of several of the committees. A most satisfactory meeting was held and the only disappointment was a notice from Mrs. Foster that her many other duties might soon compel her to resign the posi tion of secretary. This the board would not listen to and she was urgently requested to take the matter under advisement again and try to effect some compromise with her other duties. The board fully realized that Mrs. Foster's work at present is too arduous but they do not feel that her place can be filled by an other and are anxious to have the matter arranged in some way so that she can re tain her present responsible position. The minutes of the last meeting were then read and approved. Under the head of communications several satisfactory reports were read from boys that has been placed in good homes and applications for the adoption of chil dren. There is no trouble about placing healthy children who seem to be well dis- positioned, but the little vagrants and the cripples are a charge. The home manages to provide for the most urgent cases and the Industrial Home in contemplation will eventually look after them all. In this connection the matter of looking after young girls was discussed and the agents' reports show that forty should be put in the home immediately. The urgent neces sity of such an institution was too well understoad from the reports to call for any discussion. This the society feels is the great big important question that is staring them in the face and must be answered. These girls reported by the agents are not outcasts but innocent girls who are walking on the brink of the preci pice. Why parents or guardians do not look after them is a question, perhaps, but the society can get legal charge of them if it had a home to put them in. The report of the committee on the Industrial Home was then read and adopted, containing the following memorial, which will be presented to the city council on Monday night: "To the Honorable Mayor and Councllmea of the City of Wichita: The Kansas Humane society of the city of Wichita do herebv netition vour honor able body for a grant from the city treas ury to aid in establishing an "Industrial iiome" lorcniiuren. Our reason for making this request is tiat the work that is pressing to be done is more than our present means enable us to do. Our very efficient agent, Mr. Lew Aspey, finds his hands more than full of work that must bo done or the public will suffer. The number of children that are running wild in our streets, soon to be come criminals, is appalling. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Mr. Aspey has had in tho last sixty days thirty cases of girls that are neglected and will drift into lives of shame unless pro vided for soon. He has fourteen girls be tween the ages of 18 and IS now on his list that are either homeless or in danirerous hands, aud the society can do nothing for them for lack of means. If a suitable home could be provided Mr. Aspey says he could put twenty-four gins into it within a week girls, too, that are not yet ruined out in peculiar U.:.iger. Aud of boys the number is still larger, who are growiny up into criminals for lack of care. More than forty boys now on our streets have been arrested for petty offences. There is no place for them when arrested but the jail, and they come out of that farther advauced on the road to crime than wheu they entered. Under our present arrangements to arrest boys or girls either, for petty offenses, is but to give them a long march on the road to crime. What we desire is to establish an "In dustrial Home," where neglected children can be cared for and taught useful work: that they may become taxpayers instead of tax wasters. Furthermore we believe such a home necessary not alone for the city but for the state as well. What is true of our city is as true in proportion to their size of other cities in the state. We have great confidence that if the city can establish such a home as we have mentioned, and can demonstrate its use fulness, tho state will aid in its main tenance. The reform school at Topekn is over crowded; and the girls school at Beloit can not take any more pupils. The state must provide greater facilities for this jmia wrtlr nrtrl if sa Irk ii'hitf t-rt ra ri 1 Cv-UU Ul n. turn il u uy itiu v i, vu and establish an industrial home no doubt but we could get state help. Wo would also respectfully suggest that the money needed for this work from the city treasury can be easily saved by con solidating the aid to public charities. The city now gives $7 per month to each of three hospitals, and to the Children's Home. The Children's Home is over-crowded and is working exactly in the line of the Humane society. The hospitals, however, are none of them crowded, aud one could easily be enlarged to do the work of all. It seemo needless for tho city to main tain separate hospitals, either for different schools of inediciue, or for different relig ious beliefs. The public welfare should be the only aire of the city, and not theology, or the philo-ophy of medicine. The city is now spending $300 per month for public charitable institutions, and each of the four is constantly begging private aid. If these four institutions were consoli dated into two, one hospital for i he sick, and one home for the children, the same money now given would accomplish much more good. One hospital well equipped and open to all denominations and to all sehools of mediciue, would certainly do the work better than the three now do. And tho Children's Home enlarged to un dertake this rescue work, would be a great saving even financially to our city in tue tutu re. Iu view of the above considerations, we earnestly and respectfully ask that your honorable body give careful consideration to our request for financial aid." The agent's report was next read show ing that nearly a hundred complaints and ca.es had been investigated during the pat month, all of which had received tho attention warranted by the circumstances in the case, A great many of the com plaints prove to be unfounded, while many cases do not require immediate attention. All complaints are investigated, however, and full reports kept of them. A vote of thanks was extended to the womans' council for a donation of furni ture for the Industrial home. A. few current bills were audited and al lowed by resolution when the matting ad journed. COAL OIL IN A "WELL. The number of questionable wells in the city often leave the physicans to suspect that impure water is the cause of many of tho ills that flesh is heir to. An accident the other day led to the abandonment of a well that was always suppovjd by the oc cupants of the house to be perfectly good. Like many other wells It is not sunk to any great depth and is about thirty feet from a cesspool. Although the ground acts as a filter there is such a thing as a filter wear ing out or its purifying power being ex hausted as seems to be the cae in this in stance. The family in moving out were going to a house which had gas and an old oil can containing a little coal oil was thrown in the cesspool. The following day another family moving in were sur prised to find that the well water tasted of coal oil, and if pumped in quantities and allowed to stand the oil would rise to the surface in sufficient quantities to be seen. An investigation brought out the facts stated above and of course the well is abandoned. A physician said yesterday that if a great many people were to put a pint of coal oil in their cesspools the wells would soon be abandoned. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Several Indictments Reported by the Grand Jury and the Routine "Wort of the Court. After the opening of the United States court yesterday morning the grand jury reported the following indictments: John Block, charged with assault,bond forfeited and capias ordered. Albert P. Farmer, Henry J. Bowie and Charles Dunmon, all charged with introducing and selling. Fifteen others were announced and will be published as soon as the arrests are made. A motion to quash the indictment in the case of Kate Craig alias Mary E. Rose, charged with perjury, was argued and sustained. Charles Webster, Robert Dunlak and others, charged with murder, was continued and the bond fixed at $5000. Webster and other defendants in another murder case was also continued and bond fixed at $500X J. C. O'Keefe, charged with introducing and selling was also continued and bond fixed at $500. Rufus Tindel, charged with horse steal ing, was acquitted. H. Wilkerson, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, was continued and the bond fixed at $1000. The grand jury found fifteen more indict ments yesterday, making eighty-five in all that will be reported from time to time. TEACHERS RETURNING. Miss Hattie Elurlain, who has charge of penmanship in the City schools, returned from a visit to her home at McConuels ville, O. Mrs. A. E. Blasdell, of Piedmont, N. H., supervisor of drawing, arrived yesterday. Miss Jennie Cleveland has returned from her summer vacation. Mr. H. S. McMichael, principal of the Emerson school, is back from his Pennsyl vania visit Mr. R. L. Barrackman, principal of the Washington school, has returned, having attended tho Chautauqua for some weeks. Mr. T. M. Yowell has completed his sum mer vacation. SOCIAL. CLUB. Many Leading Business 3Ien Preparing Way for an Evening Chat. A movement is on foot to organizo a social club in the city to be composed of not less than one hundred of the leading men in tho city. The paper was passed around yesterday for the roll of member ship and last evening the result wa that over eighty names bad been secured. The initial fee is $25 and the assessments not to exceed $3 per month. This will give $2,500 with which to furnish rooms, or at least will be a beginning. There seems, however, no doubt but that the member ship from the beginning will show more than ono hundred names, which will in crease tho funds for club rooms. The location, as yet, has not been selected. A number of places have been suggested. Some of tho members have suggested the third floor of the Firebaugh block. The organization will probably be completed some time next month when active operations will be commenced. A negro attempted to burglarize a house on North Main street and was greeted by pistol shot iu the hands of the lady of the house. The coon escaped and the bullet probably hit tho sky, but he is noc likely to make another , attempt The matter was kept quiet for a few days to investi gate a suspected coon, who it appears was elsewhere at the time. A buggy driven by a man .somewhat un der the influence of liquor capsized yester day afternoon on the corner of Main and Douglas. In his company was a female who fortunately escaped injury, although the buggy seemed to be on top of her. The police righted the buggy immediately and held the horse, or the cons6quences might have been serious. The man gave the name of Joues and changed it several times before he got to the cooler, where the police took him to sober up. TILE COUHTS. DISTRICT COURT. W. II. Criley vs. Meyer Bros. Drug Co. was dismissed at cost of plaintiff. L. O. Smith vs. E. S. Healy was also dismissed at cost of plaintiff. No important issues were filed in this court yesterday and Judge Reed was occupied mainly in the disposition of motions and demurrers. TROUATE COURT. No marriage licenses were issued yester day in the probate court. Application for appointment of administrator of estate of Lizzie Hansen, deceased, filed. Bond filed and letters issued to Frank Williams as administrator of said estate. It is estima ted the deceased has sufficient cash'to pay her funeral expenses and certain proper ties will be clear and remain for her heirs, none of whom are in this country. COMMON PLEAS. Fourth National bank vs. Journal Pub lishing Co.: judgment for plaintiff for $1, 537.50, also for $2,050 in second ca'-e. F. G. Otto vs. J. F. Baehr; judgment for plain tiff for $548. Citizens Bank vs. Jour nal Publishing Co.; judgment for plaintiffs for $1,310. Wichita National Bank vs If. B. Brokaw et nl, judgment for plaintiff for $1,905. State vs E. II. Cred itor, heard on motion to quash informa tion, the motion was sustained and prose cution given until the 8th to file an amend ed information: the original information failed to set forth sufficient facts to estab lish a cause of action. Other motions and demurrers were also disposed of. JUSTICES COURTS. Civil thoughts occupied the minds of the justices' courts yesterday. Several criminal warrants were issued for petty offences which will in all probability be re turned today. POLICE COURT. A long list of drunks and vagrants orna mented the police court docket yesterday evening, involving the same old question that Judge Mueller is called to pass upon each day. A young man giving the names of Brown, Smith, Jones and several others, was drunk and upset a buggy on the corner of Maiu and Douglas. Only a charge of drunkeness was preferred against him. During the evening the fe male who occupied the buggy with him and was turned out in the street applied to Chief Burrows for his release, setting forth that the cooler was a bad place for his morals. The chief seemed to think he could look after the young man's morals as well as she could and concluded to bold him until duly sober. The female got. angry then and told the chief he was a mean wretch and had no regard for the morals of the young men who get drunk and otherwise disgraced their families. THE CHCKCHES.

Sotno Marri&ce Cuttomk London, Aug. 10. The Greeks and French apDear to me to be the most grasping and Bhameless in the matter of dowry, the Ger mans show the least pretense of sentiment, while the Russian takes ahigh ground alto gether The French cover their avnriciou ness with flowery sentiment where they can, but they always mean business. One Frenchman told a young lady who wm very rich while he was poor: "Do not fear. We shall be happy. I love you too much to allow your wealth and my poverty to humiliate me, and we will be thus always on the same footing." No matter how ar dent tho suit of a Frenchman of a certain sort it cools very rapidly when he finds there is to be no dowry. Just how bone and unworthy such a man is I leave people to judge who have read the stories of the mhieriefl and shame of American girls who have been unfortunate enough to marry such men. The more no ble the men profess to be jmit so much higher price they set upon themselves. I know Itss about the Italians, aot hav ing remained long enough in their country to gain a real knowledge; but if common report and other experience is to be be lieved much the same stat of affairs ex ists there, acd it certainly is about the tame among the Jewish people. They have to give dowries with their daughters. In oil the foreign countries It is a fixed cntonj, eTea here In enlightened England, only there Is mora decency shown here, and the dowry is generally secured to the wife and her heirs. And in France there U Kjcaetimes marriage I believe where the wife's dowry is ecored to her, but I think that is rarely done, as it nearly al waj leads to quarrels and trouble, for the husband regards it as his right to bare all the money. The Turk may be uncivilized, bet they bave more true xnanliseas aboot them in this respect than any ether of the Earopeaa nations, and they honestly do lore, cherish and protect their wives a toseihisg too sacred eves to 2t& abcrut. il D. 128 to 127 IV.
